Understanding George Soros’ self-image is a key to grasping much of what’s going on these days. New in FrontPage:
George Soros contributed $128,485,971 to Democrat candidates in the 2022 midterm elections, which no doubt played a considerable role in the outcome. And it isn’t as if we weren’t warned. As far back as 2004, then-Senator Hillary Clinton (D-What The Hell Happened to MY Turn) declared: “We need people like George Soros, who is fearless and willing to step up when it counts.” Soros himself then came to the podium and said: “It is the first time that I feel that I need to stand up and do something, really, uh, imp–, uh, and become really engaged, um, in the electoral process in, in this country.” Oh, he’s engaged in the electoral process, all right. That’s our problem.
One indication of the difference Soros made was that he gave, according to Politico, “$1 million for the Georgia runoff, which Sen. Raphael Warnock won on Tuesday night, giving Democrats a 51-seat majority in the Senate.” He is also working for the long term. Politico added that “last January, Soros seeded Democracy PAC with $125 million , a ‘long-term investment’ in his political priorities. The group was formed to support pro-democracy ‘causes and candidates, regardless of party’ and to invest in ‘strengthening the infrastructure of American democracy: voting rights and civic participation, civil rights and liberties, and the rule of law,’ Soros said in a statement at the time.”
Soros’ statement was, of course, a steaming pile of misleading blague and deception. He claims to support pro-democracy causes and candidates, regardless of party, but gives only to Democrats. His concern for “the infrastructure of American democracy” quite clearly refers not to our actual republic, but to “our democracy” that the Left is constantly claiming to protect, by which term they actually mean their own hegemony.
Soros has an eye for detail as well. The Capital Research Center (CRC) reported Friday that his “influence on left-wing DA candidates is often wildly underestimated. Since 2016, when Soros first began to back the campaigns of district attorneys (presumably as part of the ‘Resistance’ to the Trump administration), CRC researchers have tracked more than $29 million in funding from Soros through a personal network of political action committees (PACs) formed specifically to back left-wing DA candidates. In total, Soros cash has generously supported over 20 individual candidates, many of whom won their elections and remain in office today.”
The result? “Skyrocketing violent crime, countless murders, little to no accountability, limited prosecutorial experience, a proclivity for scandal, and a tendency to unfairly prosecute political adversaries.” George Soros, CRC added, “certainly has a type.”
So what’s it all about? What is George Soros trying to do? Soros shed some light on this question back in June 1993, when he told the UK’s Independent: “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.”
He has apparently inexhaustible amounts of money and an unshakeable dedication to backing candidates and causes that have the effect of weakening America, and making it more squalid, poorer, and more dangerous than it was before he began showering Leftists with his largesse. If Soros is a god, or more precisely, if he thinks of himself as one, he is a god of vengeance and destruction, visiting harm upon the United States of America for evils real or imagined, and imperiling its very continued existence as a free society in the process.
George Soros is 92 years old, and can’t live forever despite his pretensions to divinity, but his son Alexander stands ready to carry on his work, and the destructive influence of this malignant family will likely be felt long into the future. The ray of hope amid all this is the fact that George Soros is not really any kind of god, and that eventually even his power will be broken. The will of human beings to live in freedom and dignity is given by the real God and cannot be extinguished, no matter how many billions Soros may throw against it. In the meantime, however, the United States of America is in for difficult times, as this hubristic megalomaniac continues to devote obscene sums of money to corroding our national power, unity, and cohesion.

I try to avoid Nazi comparisons, but if Hitler tried to conquer the world militarily, Soros is trying to conquer the world ideologically, in a manner more effective than the Soviet Communists ever did. He has tons of cash, some of which he earned playing the currency markets and the rest no doubt earned w/ investments. Now he’s dedicated to toppling Right-leaning governments worldwide, and his latest successes have been this country and Brazil
I know that unlike the Global Left, Right wing parties/movements in every country are contextual and localized, and a lot of them might even be at odds w/ each other. However, I do think that the Right needs to look at least at loose global associations, even if they don’t fully endorse the views of their equivalents in other countries. It’s sorta like elections here: Republicans have to embrace and start getting better at early voting drives. While guerilla tactics might work by individual Right wing parties slugging it out against the global Left, making them even loosely coordinated would be far more effective

Why try to aviod the Nazi comprison? Soros was a Nazi stooge himself, and he feels no guilt

What does such hypocritical partisan posts have to do with JihadWatch’s news digest on Islamic extremism? A few facts.
1. The sum of donations for the 2022 mid-terms was as great or greater for the Republican candidates. Big conservative donors include Uihlein, Griffen, Yass, Koch, etc.

2. It was the Republican Supreme Court that greatly loosened the election campain contribution limits in the 2014 McCutcheon decision.

3. In my opinion, the foremost hubristic megalomaniac in US is the former president, DJ Trump, by far and away. Not Spencer’s red flag, G. Soros.

yohanan: The vast majority of donations for Republicans comes from those who contribute about $100.00 or less. Yes, there are big conservative donors but they pale in comparison to big liberal donors, who represent almost all of Silicon Valley, Social Media, Big Business, Hollywood, etc. Additionally, well over 90% of unionized federal employees contribute to the Democratic Party (N.B., FDR refused to have federal employees unionized to his credit, but JFK stupidly reversed this and we see the result—an entrenched federal bureaucracy which is extremely partisan and which is not a good thing).
There should be no limits on campaign contributions BUT they should only be able to be done by Americans and full disclosure must follow.
Your psychological assessment of Donald Trump is rooted in amateur analysis but I would suggest you take a look nonetheless at the highly mendacious Joe Biden (which assessment of this poor protoplasm requires no psychological expertise but only facts), respecting whom only a person with common sense and proper knowledge will realize what a half century travesty of a politician he has been, especially over the past two years where he has Fauci-upped almost everything he has touched. Start with the southern border and the stupid war on fossil fuels and go from there—if you are able.

Aside from everything that Wellington mentioned above, you’ve missed the last several months, when JihadWatch added the ‘Left Column’, which covers the activity of the biggest allies and enablers of jihad – the Left. And it’s been that way for at least a decade now: the only time I see the Left condemning jihad at all is Saudi Arabia. While they ignore the misdeeds of countries like Qatar, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan

I get the fact that you personally do not “like” Pres. Trump.
That being said:
Do you prefer the current POLICIES of Biden over the past POLICIES of Trump?
Explain why:

Just think if George Soros had bought Twitter rather than Elon Musk…
